What is a<br />

Turbocharger <br />

• A <strong>turbo</strong>charger is a combination Turbine<br />

& Compressor joined by a common shaft<br />

• Super-hot exhaust gases from the engine<br />

pass through the Turbine, causing it (and<br />

the Compressor) to spin at high speeds<br />

• The Compressor draws air through the air<br />

cleaner, compresses and feeds it to the<br />

engine for mixing with fuel<br />

• The result of these events is greater volumes<br />

of air/fuel mixture entering the cylinders<br />

• The engine, as a direct result, delivers<br />

considerably more power and torque than<br />

an identical capacity engine taking in air at<br />

normal atmospheric pressure<br />

Why Turbochargers<br />

need Protection<br />

• The waste gases which drive the Turbine<br />

come direct from the combustion chambers<br />

via the exhaust manifold at temperatures<br />

which can lift the Turbine to over 700º C<br />

• The Turbine spins at up to 100,000 RPM<br />

• The Turbo shaft and bearings and the oil<br />

which lubricates them must withstand these<br />

conditions on a daily basis for long periods<br />

at a time<br />

• At switch-off, Turbo temperature is high &<br />

lubrication to the bearings stops instantly<br />

• Unless special precautions are taken, this<br />

may result in thermal distortions, the<br />

varnishing of oil on the shaft and bearings<br />

and premature Turbo failure<br />

How to Protect<br />

your<br />

Turbocharger<br />

Turbo engine manufacturers recommend<br />

that, after a brisk run, their engines be idled<br />

for a few minutes to allow the Turbocharger<br />

to slow down, cool and normalise while<br />

maintaining a flow of fresh engine oil to its<br />

bearings.<br />

This routine, if followed at every switch-off,<br />

will extend Turbo life and significantly<br />

reduce the likelihood of premature<br />

Turbocharger failure.<br />

Watercooling of<br />

<strong>turbo</strong>chargers does not<br />

remove the need to idle<br />

down. The following is an<br />

extract from the Owner’s<br />

Manual for a car with a<br />

water cooled Turbocharger<br />

produced by one of<br />

Australia’s biggest<br />

manufacturers:<br />

It is essential to maintain a<br />

clean supply of oil flowing through<br />

the <strong>turbo</strong>charger system as a sudden<br />

interruption of oil supply may<br />

cause a malfunction to the<br />

<strong>turbo</strong>charger. Therefore, if<br />

the engine has been operating at<br />

high load or at high RPM<br />

for an extended period of<br />

time, let it idle for a few<br />

minutes prior to shutdown.<br />

Turbo Protection<br />

The most popular and foolproof method<br />

of guaranteeing that the engine<br />

manufacturer’s recommendation is<br />

carried out every time you switch off is<br />

to fit a BOGAARD Turbo Timer.<br />

Many thousands are fitted to vehicles as<br />

diverse as Subarus, Land Cruisers and<br />

Kenworth trucks. Some of Australia’s<br />

largest and most respected truck<br />

manufacturers fit BOGAARD Turbo<br />

Timers on their assembly lines.<br />

BOGAARD Turbo Timers are<br />

inexpensive, foolproof & fail-safe.<br />

They are easy to fit, with plug-in models<br />

for many popular passenger & off-road<br />

vehicles<br />
